The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 123

One-Hundred Twenty-Two: Warlock

Dimitri

We are waiting for Nigel to get his ass here. When I say we, I mean the girls too. After the little episode a week ago, we had a meeting. We have all agreed that from here on out, we all work together. This also means that the girls can’t go off and pull shit, either. Rye did come and talk to his aunt. Chris and I were there with him. As it turns out, the warlock that took Araya and Einyn was not Nigel’s dad but his uncle. We still have no idea where Nigel’s dad is. I do know for a fact he is not dead. I have a feeling that he is mixed up in that damn ring. I rub my temples. I am starting to feel like Zeus and have to very strongly keep myself from releasing Mykenzie and Kylani and telling them to have fun. I just want all this shit to end. Nigel finally struts in and takes a seat. I give a light chuckle. I can see Nymyra, Natalya, and Mykayla’s eyes go wide when they see Nigel. The other seven just roll their eyes. Mykenzie and Kylani don’t even bother and keep eating their fries.

“Ladies I thought you might need this,” Nigel says.

He hands out coffee to the girls, and Kylani raises an eyebrow as she takes the coffee. Nigel isn’t stupid. He knows how to get on their good side. The other three are still staring. This guy is crazy, and I know why the girls can’t speak. Nigel is not what anyone expects from what everybody thinks a fae or warlock should look like. Nigel is a contradiction in terms of 6’10” with waist-long platinum blonde hair and smokey grey eyes. He is covered in tattoos and looks like he should be in a biker gang (he isn't in a biker gang) and riding a Harley, which is what has. He is a motorcycle guy through and through. I can tell the guys are nervous around him.

“Draydon finally crawled out of your cave I see.” Nigel comments.

“Still a dickhead, I see,” Draydon replies.

These two have never been friends. They have tolerated each other. Barely. I can see them sizing each other up. They really are evenly matched for each other. I am just getting ready to break this up when a very low growl is heard. They both back off and sit down. They might be evenly matched for each other, but they are no match for either Mykenzie or Kylani. It was Mykenzie that gave that warning growl.

“Ok let’s get down to business,” Donte says.

Alexis comes walking through at that time and almost faces-plants on the floor. I am going to assume that one of the girls saved her since no one was around, and tacos were almost wasted. The food is placed on the table, and everyone gets comfortable. The girls give one last warning growl, and we start talking.

Donte

As predicted, the girls were unhappy when Nigel told them why he was asked to help in the first place. I guess Chris and Rye forgot to tell them that we want an alternate way to find the location beside the animals. That started a fight between the triplets.
